My first impression is that it is the flour. Whole wheat flour goes bad
faster(the oil in it turns rancid) that white flour. If you only
ocassionally use white flour, and it has been sitting around a long time,
it may have also gone bad. Flour should last a few weeks in a cold store,
and a few more weeks in your pantry, if it is not too hot. When I had an
extra fridge, I kept my flour in it. Most poeple won't notice the bad
wheat because so much else is in the bread the sour taste is covered.
